CoinVoice has learned that, according to Ohmynews, the Gwangju District Prosecutors Office in South Korea recently discovered a large amount of Bitcoin related to criminal cases was lost during a routine inspection of seized assets. The estimated loss amounts to hundreds of billions of Korean won (the report mentions internal rumors of about 70 billion won, approximately 48 million USD).\n\nIt is reported that the prosecutors stored Bitcoin-related passwords and other information on portable storage devices. The loss may have occurred during the inspection process due to accidental access to a so-called “scam website.” The Gwangju District Prosecutors Office's official response to this matter is “unable to confirm.” The prosecutors have now initiated an internal investigation into the incident.
